I don't think it's related, I think it's a separate issue.  Notice how
the truncated "123" string starts 2 columns after the "$" truncation
indicator, whereas the un-truncated "1234" starts only 1 column after
"$".

So I think there's something else at work here, and will take a closer
look soon.

Thanks.
